in AI answers, against category giants
Technical SEO services built for Google and for the crawlers behind AI answers.
Google renders your JavaScript. The bots that build AI answers usually do not. The done-for-you technical SEO agency that fixes crawling, rendering, schema, robots.txt, and llms.txt, so your pages are readable to Google and quotable by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini.
- Prompt-level tracking across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews
- Schema, entities, and answer-shaped content the engines can actually parse
- A monthly scorecard tied to your own GA4 and Search Console

100% dedicated to AI search. It is all we do, and we run the engine on our own brand.
The problem
Google sees the page, the assistant sees nothing
Classic technical SEO is scored against Googlebot, which renders JavaScript and then indexes what it finds. The agents behind AI answers work differently. Most retrieval bots take the HTML your server ships and stop there, so a page assembled in the browser can be blank to them while it still ranks. Add a robots.txt group that quietly removes you from an assistant, thin schema, and no llms.txt, and there is nothing left for the engine to lift. None of it shows up in a rank tracker, which is why it goes unnoticed for years.
Technical SEO services fix the crawling, rendering, indexing, and structured data problems that stop a site being read, ranked, and quoted. RankZero does that work for Google and for AI answer engines at once, because the retrieval bots behind ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude mostly do not run JavaScript and only read the HTML your server ships.

How a RankZero technical SEO agency engagement runs
Two weeks to stand everything up, then a monthly engine that keeps earning citations. No black box, no quarterly reveal: you see the roadmap before any work starts.

10% of monthly revenue from AI search, at margins closer to organic than paid social.
A DTC pet wellness brand that cannot run a single paid ad.
- 01
Brand and citation baseline
Weeks 1 to 2
We stand up tracking on the prompts your buyers actually type, then measure where ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews name you today, and which competitors they name instead. You start from a number, not a hunch.
- 02
Source of truth audit
Weeks 2 to 3
Crawl, index, schema, and entity coverage, plus your full content inventory. We find every page an engine cannot parse and every claim it cannot verify, and we connect GA4 and Search Console so results are measured in your own analytics.
- 03
Implementation: schema, entities, answer-shaped content
Weeks 3 to 12
Technical fixes ship first, then the content engine starts: four to six new pages a month plus two to four rewrites, drafted for search and AI answers at once, with a human review gate before anything publishes.
- 04
Authority and citation building
Ongoing
We earn mentions on the sources the models already trust: industry roundups, comparison reviews, communities, and directories. Earned placements only, never paid, because a bought mention stops working the day you stop paying.
- 05
Monthly AI visibility scorecard
Ongoing
Citation share across every engine, movement against named competitors, and what it did to sessions and revenue. You get a shared strategy doc, weekly opportunities, a biweekly call, and a monthly report of what moved and what is next.
The model
Think of us as your fractional Head of AI Visibility
Not a report you have to action, and not a headcount you have to hire before the channel is proven. One team owning the strategy, the technical work, the content, and the citations, reporting to you every month on what actually moved.

What it actually means
Technical SEO agency, explained without the buzzwords
AI SEO, GEO, and AEO all describe the same job from different angles: it is the same program on our AI SEO Agency page. Here is the part that decides whether an engine can recommend you, in plain terms.
Book an AI visibility audit01
AI SEO vs traditional SEO
Traditional SEO optimises a page to rank in a list of links. AI SEO optimises your brand to be the answer. The signals overlap, which is why we run both in one program instead of two projects that argue with each other.
02
AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini
Four surfaces, four different retrieval behaviours. AI Overviews leans on what already ranks. ChatGPT and Perplexity lean on what they can retrieve and verify. We optimise for each, then track them separately.
03
Citations, not rankings
The unit that matters is whether the model names you and links you, in the prompts your buyers ask. Position one for a keyword nobody types into an AI is not a win. We measure citation share against named competitors.
04
Entity authority and training data
Models resolve brands as entities, not strings. Consistent naming, verifiable facts, and presence on the sources they read (Wikipedia, Reddit, industry press, comparison sites) is what makes a model confident enough to recommend you.
05
llms.txt and schema are real work
Machine-readable structure is not a checkbox. Schema, clean headings, and answer-shaped sections decide whether a crawler can lift a quotable passage out of your page at all. Most sites fail this before content is even a question.
06
What it costs, honestly
A monthly retainer scoped to your vertical and goals, covering audit, strategy, content, citations, tracking, and reporting. We scope it after a free AI visibility audit, so you see your own numbers before you commit to anything.

What you get tracked
Every engine, tracked for you daily
The citation tracking in your retainer runs on these engines. Each has its own tracker in the platform, and you see all of them in one dashboard.
Our guarantee
25%+ AI traffic lift in 90 days, or months four to six are unbilled
If AI-referred sessions in your own GA4 have not risen at least 25% in your first 90 days, months four to six are unbilled and you can end the engagement at any point in those months. Baseline is the 90 days before kickoff. We agree the counted referrers with you at kickoff. Your analytics decide, not ours. One condition: content and technical changes you have approved go live within 10 working days, since we cannot move a number on pages that never ship. One monthly retainer covers the whole technical SEO agency program: audit, strategy, content, citations, tracking, and reporting, scoped after a free AI visibility audit so you see your own numbers before you commit to anything.
15-minute call. No commitment. You see your own numbers first.

How we check these reviews: the G2 reviews are collected and verified by G2. The client quotes come to us directly from the named person at a company we have worked for, and we publish them unchanged and unpaid. We run no separate authenticity check of our own.
Questions, answered
The things teams ask us before getting started.
Crawling and indexing, rendering, site architecture and internal links, canonicals and redirects, page speed and Core Web Vitals, XML sitemaps, robots.txt, and structured data. We run all of that, then add the layer AI engines need on top: retrieval bot access, HTML that carries your content before any script runs, and an llms.txt file that points at the pages worth quoting.
